We’ve seen Rox have her items back on sale again (still got them banked from the original one) do you think we will see Brahams shield and mace up? I regret not buying the shield having now looked through shield skins, can’t help but wonder if these will be passed as I’m yet to see anyone requesting/posting about them.

However the toxic parts and the grenth hood are super popular here Anet are missing a trick if they pass on these.

I just want an indication of how many times I’ve leveled over 80, like a personal 80(+27) etc

not even displayed to others, just for my own pleasure.

Mesmer Advice Needed

Well I started a mesmer yesterday (main is a warrior) the play style is certainly different, I’m working on figuring bits out on here.

The difference between clones and phantoms? Phantoms do damage, both are shatterable? (only used pistol/GS phantoms so far)

Staying alive, it seems to me that kiting and dodging are much more key here, lower health pool meaning more punishment on mistakes. I’m finding myself overrun when there are more then one enemy aggressive toward me, this is especially true I’ve found in my personal story, which is a nightmare so far, in comparison to the warrior, which granted is easier to deal with groups again the squishyness is something to get used to.

Is there anything tips or trick wise I should be looking out for? I have my combos down on the warrior, linking well, swapping etc, which weapon sets should I be looking into, currently on GS & Sw/P.

Is there a specific build or ideal way to trait to level with, does this then become redundant (ie. 5 signet warrior dropping effectiveness at 40ish.)

Don’t get me wrong I’m having a blast, just want to know what I can do to better myself with the class.

Well on my Sylvari Guardian, I’m yet to come across another, even less so another female. Infact Sylvari seem to be rare outside of the forest I find.

I’ve been a lurker of the thread for a while decided to go for it and take the plunge after a reply from Noppy in another thread I commented in.

Name: Dan

Character(s): (Yes, I’m an alt-oholic)
- Bjorn Pummelfrize – Level 80 Norn Warrior
- Lona Galondel – Level 42 Sylvari Guardian
- Blue Eyes Demon – Level 37 Human Elementalist
- Red Shank – Level 30 Human Necromancer
- Pigbladder Arrow – Level 30 Asura Ranger

Current Server: Fissure Of Woe, just wondering how this works, is there 2 separate group/guilds for EU/NA servers and then the shared message board?

Interested Activities: PvE / Dungeons (really wanting to get into Dungeon runs, started doing a few, lead groups in Fotm, asides AC/TA I’ve no clue)

Active: Varies, depending on schedule for work, tend to be on later (GMT) as I play with some friends from the states often.

Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: Yes

Update this one, I have it bookmarked!

After reading this initially it made me roll a necro, can’t wait untill endgame now to see some of this in action, have also shown the thread to a few friends and lots of them now are considering making necro’s in the future.

Please help me decide a new class.

Hey Sheepy,

You actually sound just like I did a while back. Having got my warrior to 80 enjoyed playing it, still do however I yearned for something more (moved on from sonic boon myself to hammer/longbow/banner and can’t help but love it, hated the hammer pre-80 though.) I too started an ele and have it at 37 I will level it but I just didn’t find myself enjoying it.

After that I took the same route as you choosing guardian/necro/ranger and to be honest I still cant choose, my guardian is 40, ranger 30 and necro 30 currently, what I have found I’ll post though.

Guardian is a machine, decent output damage, ridiculous condition control, buffs for allies, I already feel I help those around me now more than when I was running support on my warrior, I’m also yer to die or be downed as my guardian, don’t be put off too much by the fast that the scepter, it is nice for ranged has a couple moves but I just haven’t used it, primarily running GS/Staff and its amazing, staff for hitting 5 mobs at once, symbol for swiftness (when coupled with shout retreat basically = perma swiftness) healing and damage output plus Staff 4 is great for adding might to yourself and those around you. The range isn’t an issue being close is fine so far, late game who knows however plenty of people still use them later so it clearly isn’t an issue.

Ranger – This is the perfect solo class, if you PvE, it does have its issues, however with the small changes since the last update the ranger is 100 times better then before, pets are much more reliable now too, if you can learn when to swap them and when to use abilities you will be fine, it means you have 2 health bars to look into aswell, utilities are not too bad, nothing amazing, currently running signets(25% speed boost <3) and asura racial and its working for me, they’re a good solid class now with the buffs to bows speed helping out too, it’s solid but not to everyones liking a friend got his to 16 then just rerolled as a warrior and enjoys it much more, so not for everyone.

Necro is possibly one of the more fun classes to play stacking conditions like they’re nothing, the combo of scepter/dagger and staff is amazing, however this class I dislike playing solo, it just isn’t fun for me to level alone, kiting to kill with conditions etc, you could level more efficiently with a pure power build and wells I’m sure and the f1 shroud is great, however it definately shines at high levels, I again can’t help too much on it as I only use it when I can level with friends as solo it’s just not a patch on the other two classes, maybe if you’re in a more populated server you will have a better time, for me on Fissue Of Woe, its a struggle. You should read this http://lopezirl.com/2012/12/19/a-condition-necromancers-guide-to-pve/ also from a guy in the necro forums section, it gives an amazing amount of information and is the reason I went ahead and rolled necro as an alt.

Pets you'd like in the future...

Turtles, 4 of them, preferably ninjas.

A Lion would be awesome, as would a raptor.

Personally I would love to see a Crocodile or an Alligator, it could have a KD/Stun F2 or you know bleed with bite/deathroll.

Some more aquatic would be nice a giant squid or something maybe an angler fish!

Not me personally but a friend is having this exact issue,

1. Fissure Of Woe (EU)
2. No maps load, has different toons in places, LA, Queensdale, Celedon
3. Can’t even transfer it just hangs on the first screen, did manage to make a new alt however it hung on the screen after the initial instance.

FotM grouping

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Danjohnson.4237

Danjohnson.4237

Well this isn’t all about FotM however that it’s frustrating me, I happen to have a couple days off work and so I figure what better time to get into fractals and learn some more. However the problem being finding people at level 1, now I’ve tried the website for dungeons, calling in map, my server (Fissure Of Woe) seems dead, there’s a few people about in LA but worldwide it’s not too populated despite being high pop. Again this stops me doing the monthly achievements due to fractals in there which is equally frustrating.

Am I resigned to just having to leave it until the lfg site fills out and there are more online later tonight? The fix for FotM in jan looks promising but again doesn’t help out much now.

A side note are there any guilds out there designed to help players form dungeon groups? OT I know, but would be helpful regardless.

Edit: Realise this turned out more like a rant, not my original intention, apologies.

Whats the most Popular server that isnt full?

Been on Fissure Of Woe with some friends for maybe 2 weeks now, we wanted a less heavy population to make sure we all stayed connected (US/China/UK) and its worked wonders, never had issues finding people for group events or randomly wandering around.
